Features: When reading poetry, one must understand poetic rhythms; when composing lyrics, one must grasp lyric patterns. Poetic rhythms and lyric patterns are not "metaphysics." This book will help you navigate the variations of these rules effortlessly, allowing you to visit the halls of poetic and lyrical literature as an insider and share the joy of Xin Qiji's "I regret that the ancients did not see my madness." Then, it will guide you to familiarize yourself with, explore, inherit, or discard. One day, when you are amazed at how much you have come to deeply understand traditional poetry and even create new poetic works that shape your life, you will fully appreciate the dedication of predecessors like Chen Yinque, Long Yusheng, Qian Zhongshu, and Wang Li to the tradition.
